SANDERS INAGURATION - Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was sworn in as Governor of Arkansas yesterday. Sanders, a Republican, took the oath of office on the Capitol steps in Little Rock alongside her family and several dignitaries, including the state’s two U.S. Senators and former Governors David Pryor, Asa Hutchinson, and Mike Huckabee, Sanders’ father.
In her inauguration speech Sanders called her election victory a “turning point” in the state’s history.
“The passing of the torch is always a historic occasion but it’s not a torch to burn something down. But instead to light a path for a new generation of service and leadership. This day is especially notable because I happen to be the youngest governor serving anywhere in the country,” Sanders said.
After being sworn in, Sanders signed seven executive orders among those include an immediate freeze on new government hiring and government regulations, barring installation of the social media app “TikTok” on all state digital devices, and prohibiting indoctrination and critical race theory being taught in schools.
